DWI Urine Testing Under Review by Supreme Court.
We were probably the first attorneys in Minnesota to start bringing Frye-Mack challenges against the practice of using urine tests to prosecute drivers for DWI.
Now, one of the first cases where we raised this argument has finally made its way to the Minnesota Supreme Court, which just accepted review of our case, State v. Boeder.
This is part of a clear trend - the Minnesota Supreme Court seems ready and willing to address head-on the basic fact that scientists worldwide reject urine testing for DWI cases. Stay tuned . . . things are about to get even more interesting.
Why would the court not allow a UA for evidence? This would create a loophole that would cause greater danger for the greater whole.
Sometimes urine testing doesn't really give an accurate result of amount of alcohol.
